WaterTower Theater: Know a Theater
“What does theatre—not just your theatre, but the American or world theatre—look like in, say, 20 years?
I think the most amazing thing about theatre is that it is essentially primitive and innovative at the same time. The most human art form (humans watching other humans tell stories) is one that expands and changes in form somewhat, but it’s always the most elementally theatrical productions that astound and delight audiences, even with all of the new technology in the world. I believe that theatre is an essential tool in helping us navigate the globalized world by introducing us to the stories of others in the safe environment of the theatre. I think that won’t change, and actually that the theatres of each region will become more and more important in the next 20 years, as people will need places to be in contact with humanity.”
